Hi Marc. Yes, there is a product roadmap available: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.html
As leszek and Andy have said, App Engine is a fundamentally different beast than your typical J2EE server + RDBMS and you will have to compromise some convenience in order to achieve the level of scalability that App Engine offers. That said, App Engine for Java was designed from the beginning with Java standards in mind, including the servlet API, JDO/JPA, JCache, and so forth to ease the learning curve for J2EE developers, and we are continually looking at ways to make the developer experience even better. If you have any specific suggestions, I encourage you to post new feature requests to the public tracker which we use, in part, to prioritize upcoming features. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list - Jason On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 12:34 AM, mschipperheyn <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm just wondering if there is a roadmap available and if and when > Hibernate, sql etc will be supported. > Will there come a time soon when choosing GAE will no longer be a > choice of "if we use it, we have to dumb down the application because > x (e.g. Hibernate), y (e.g. SQL) and z (e.g. Lucene, file system > access) can't be used anymore"? > > The concept is great but it seems that the limitations are gigantic. > And for a high end application I feel using the plain vanilla usually > doesn't cut it. project Has anyone done any big java-projects yet on > this platform? > > Cheers, > > Marc > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
